Yes, it could (as long as either it is converted back to int in the 
return of the macro, or all users do not care about the macro's return 
type). However, the justification used for the printk_once patch (and 
this WARN_ONCE patch) does not apply directly anymore, since the code is 
different (to start with, it is not a static variable).
